“Thank you. You know, I just was looking at Senator Kerry giving his speech. He gives me a beanpot. [Laughter] Whoever said he didn't have a sense of humor? Do you believe that Governor Weld would have the guts to stand up here and say he couldn't believe that we had all those people from the sixties playing and everybody kept their clothes on? [Laughter] Next thing you know John Kerry will be doing the macarena with Al Gore. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the warm and wonderful reception you have given me tonight. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being here for John Kerry, who richly deserves your support for reelection because he has been fighting for your future, for the future of Massachusetts and the future of the United States for a very long time. And he has consistently been on the right side of that future. You know, I remember in 1993, when we had a stagnant economy and high unemployment and the country was dividing economically and socially and people were becoming more and more cynical, and I put an economic plan forward to the Congress and not a single person in the other party voted for it. And they all tried to terrify our side and say, ``Oh, this is a terrible plan. It will raise the deficit; it will increase unemployment; it will bankrupt the country.'' Well, John Kerry and Senator Ted Kennedy stood with the President. And now we know; 10\1/2\ million jobs later, we know that John Kerry was right and they were wrong.…”
